Not really.

It is much more nuanced. It is about charging infrastructure and how undependable they could be, which adds to the anxiety manifold.

I read it as safety while charging.

And poor charger upkeep. Seems to be a recurring theme for some providers.

Range anxiety is one of those terms like vaccine hesitancy that is designed to blame the victim, rather than be forced to address a root cause and be more persuasive.

Using the word anxiety specifically to target women seems especially sinister

with a sprinkle of "I'm scared to be out at night"

EV chargers are always running, 24/7, however women won't be happy charging past sundown.

Seems like the solution is a panic button and security patrol for EV stations.

Literally any difference between men and women can be explained by BPD.
